Arnaud Ernest Junqua (16 February 1816 in Lectoure – 31 January 1893), was a French officer of the
French Imperial Guard and Chief in second of the Cent-gardes Squadron.[1] In the history of the squadron, Captain Junqua is described as an excellent human being, enough to tell true or invented stories, often invented, which were the joy of his comrades.[2]
Life
Arnaud Junqua was born in the family of the Empire marshal
Koh-i-Nor. On 14 January 1857 he joined the Cent-gardes as captain, thus becoming the second in command of this elite group.[5] As he was very tall, his own bed followed him in his travels.[6]
He was promoted chief of squadrons on 14 March 1859 and shortly after he joined the 12th Dragons Regiment. He retired on 2 August 1870.[2]
